sepulchra Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm just curious if folks have been using these windscreens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/835680-REG/Bubblebee_Industries_BBI_L02_BK_Windbubble_Miniature_Imitation_Fur.html I have been using rycotes but I haven't been totally happy with the way the work with DPA4060s. Thanks, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Michael I've used these on COS-11 and TL40. Tricky to get on sometimes, but very effective. I had one on a freeskii style downhill skier doing crazy jumps and tricks. i had some pretty impressive results considering! I've never tried the Rycote, so not sure how it compares. cheers!

BradTheSoundGuy Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I use them from time to time. As mentioned, they can be very tricky to get on sometimes. They're also very bulky. I've had instances where showing a lav is acceptable and when I wanted to use the bubblebee I was asked not to. Just too distracting - like a big giant bug on someone's shirt. With that said, they are fairly effective. I've also wired up a skydiver using one and as they approached the ground the wind noise was almost non existant. Pretty impressive. I think they're just another good tool in the toolbox. Not for everyday use, but when you need it you'll be glad you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBoisseau Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I use the microcats from Remote Audio. I'm not sure how they compare to the Bumblebees, but they work quite well for me. http://www.trewaudio.com/store/MicroCat.html Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwill Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I use the product with Sony ECM 77s'and they work quite effectively, just give yourself a little time to fit them ....if I have the time I will slip them over the Sony metal windscreen for a real nice fit, but they are equally effective just over the capsule!
